Please visit the homework links and send in those 100th Day Bottle projects in the bag. Attach the written work to the outside of the bag. If you like, decorate the outside of the bag before sending it in.
We enjoyed STARLAB last week and many thanks to Mr. Tramm for his wonderful presentation about our universe and the constellations. The Solar System 'came to life' for us last week. How many of you enjoyed the almost total eclipse of the moon on Saturday night? Absolutely beautiful and a miraculous sight!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Petty
